Fuel crisis may be worse next year
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Natural gas
shortages next winter might be even
more severe than those causing the
current fuel crisis, preliminary govern-ment
studies suggested Saturday.
Analysts said this winter's gas supply
may fall 18 per cent below demand if
the extremely cold weather continues.
The shortage for the heating season,
which started lh October and continues
through March, might total 2 55 trillion
cubic feet (76 5 billion cubic meters),
they said.
The new estimates are 16 to 23 per
cent greater than the original govern-ment
forecast, which anticipated short-ages
of 2 07 trillion to 2.2 trillion cubic
feet (62 billion to 66 billion cubic
meters)
Government energy analysts told
UPI the shortages could be even
greater next year even if the weather
is normal
They said the supply situation will
depend on unresolved political deci-sions
involving allocation plans, price
deregulation and conservation
measures as well as on the weather.
The trade publication "Energy
Today" said a draft Federal Energy
Administration study gives 1978
forecasts that "are likely to be particu-larly
upsetting for energy and
economic planners "
Assuming there is no price
deregulation and present rules
governing consumer priority are
maintained, it said, the forecasts
indicate
- Residential and commercial con-- f
sumption, the last to be cut off in event
of a shortage, would be slightly below
1975 levels of 4 9 trillion cubic feet (147
billion cubic meters) and 2 3 trillion
cubic feet (69 billion cubic meters),
respectively.
Industrial consumption, the
middle-rankin- g priority, would be 5 7
trillion cubic feet (171 billion cubic
meters). That would be 19 per cent
below the 1975 level
Electric utility consumption of gas
as boiler fuel would be 1 5 trillion cubic
feet (45 billion cubic meters), less than
half the amount used in 1975
The FEA analysis said regional con-sumption
patterns would cause greater
shortages than the national aerage in
some areas and less in others
Energy Today said new FEA chief
Rohn O'Leary believes improving
conservation through ueathenzation of
existing homes and impnned
insulation of new houses should be a top
priority goal
It said the administration is unde-cided
whether such steps should be
pushed immediately, rather than as
part of a total energy plan to be
unveiled Apnl 20, and whether the
should be mandatory or should be
encouraged through subsidies or p.

drains people
from Columbia
ByJbnDrinkard
Missourian staff writer
Columbia is experiencing a
phenomenon that is not
uncharacteristic of other small
metropolitan centers across the
country urban sprawl
People are moving outside the city in
increasing numbers, seeking the
country life, lower-co- st land, lower
taxes
City building permit figures show a
dramatic decrease in single-famil- y
housing starts since the 1960s In 1976,
the figure was 138 Ten years ago it was
343
And in Boone Count)', the statistics
are equally dramatic. In the three
years since the county's planning office
was established, the estimated value of
new building has jumped 200 per cent
Insight
with the number of single-fami- ly
permits more than doubling
Since 1970, the city's population
growth rate has been cut in half From
a gain of 2,100 per year then, the rate
has fallen to 1,100 per year.
The growth in the ring of
development around Columbia is a very
diffuse sprawl, making it difficult for
the county, with limited funds
.available, to provide adequate roads
and sewers
For City Planning Director Mike
Bathke, the situation is frustrating
"We're not even through with, the
improvements needed after the 1969
annexation. It's an extremely
expensive proposition for the city, an
extremely expensive solution to the
frustration we feel "
Bathke said the city has no
immediate plans to annex any of the
developing area. The last annexation in
1969 doubled Columbia's size and
spawned a lawsuit challenging the
expansion which eventually was settled
in the city's favor
Bathke said the sprawl phenomenon
puts a financial squeeze on city
residents
"County people come m to work
every day, they use city faakties, their
lads use the city parks, and it's the city
resident who's paying the bills," he
Said .- -,,
,. . .r,ws
What ire the forces driving bunders
outside town? Largely cost, Bathke
said. Lower standards for developing
subdivisions in the county, coupled with
cheaper land, can lower the cost of
building a new home.
Cost can be an incentive for home
buyers as well. At 1976 rates, taxes on a
$45,000 house were $180 more if the
house was inside the city limits Lack of
a sidewalk requirement outside the city
also can shave several hundred dollars
off the price of a home

Is drug use growing here? Police not sure
By Peter deSelding
Missourian staff writer
Two recent shooting incidents that
left one girl dead and three persons
wounded have raised the question
again How widespread is drug use in
Columbia'
There is no definitive answer.
Sgt Frank Moyle, who has resigned
in frustration as head of the police
Department's narcotics unit, says a
great variety of drugs is becoming
increasingly available in Columbia,
and use among teen-age- rs is growing.
But Sgt. Ernest Barbee, head of the
juvenile bureau, says his information is
that teen-age- rs are using less illegal
drugs than in recent years and have
turned to alcohol instead
And Neal Sofian, director of Every-day
People, a city-fund- ed dime which
does drug counseling, believes drug use
in Columbia has remained fairly
constant
"If a guy was in the culture, he could
get anything he wanted right here m
Columbia," Moyle said "Coke
(cocaine) is coming up, we've seen an
increase in LSD abuse, Quaaludes (a
barbiturate) are coming up Thai sticks
(the most potent sections of the
marijuana plant, strung together in
slender strips) are another one that's
coming in"
In a similar interview a year ago,
after several drug arrests, Moyle said
the availabilttv of drugs was
decreasing and had been cut bj as
much as one-thir- d in the citv
Moyle said last week, "That was the
time to put the heat on them (drug
dealers) They were scattered, dis-organized
It takes eight to 10 months
for them to get back and regroup We
slacked off"
Columbia again has become ' the hub
of the wheel" for drug traffic in mid-Misso- un
"It's a lucrative business
Dealers in town are getting pretty fat
off it," he said
Moyle believes college students still
provide much of the market for drug
dealers, but they no longer are the
major sources for the town's drug
supply.
"Students aren't dealing m the same
quantities as the people we've
targeted," he said "Students can't
keep their mouths shut A student
dealer of any quantity can't last very
long. He's got too many people who can
snitch on him."

for Moyle's unit to get any information

Downtown loop advances
despite vocal opposition
ByJlmDrinkard
andKenFoson
Missourian staff writers
The city is moving full speed toward
implementation of a downtown traffic
loop, but some businessmen still are
opposed to the idea.
Downtown businessmen contacted
this week had mixed reactions to the
loop plan, with most opposition coming
from merchants concerned about a loss
of parking space. Several said they will
attend Monday night's City Council
meeting, when Public Works Director
Ray Beck will present to the council a
program for implementing the loop
The purpose of the loop is to clear
Broadway of through traffic, leaving
the area less congested for local
drivers. Beck said no date has beerset .
for initial implementation of the loop,
but earlier estimates -- said the loop
would not be completed until August
City officials also are developing
methods to add parking spaces
downtown
--- The loop plan would reroute traffic on
10 downtown streets on a loop formed
by Locust, Tenth, Ash and Sixth streets.
No street entering the loop would be
closed, but a right turn and driving at
least one block along the loop would be
necessary before a motorist could enter
the central business district.
Some of the .businessmen contacted
had opposed the loop plan last Majdi at
a public hearing in which the council
approved the loop idea.
Larry Hamman, owner of Rainbow's,
21 N. Ninth St., and a member of the
North Village Association's board of
,. directors, said, "We want to cooperate
with the city, but we're going to make
sure that they know we want to have
.adequate parking I see a definite
parking shortage"
At least one downtown merchant is
strongly opposed to the loop "It's been
railroaded through from the outset,"
said Jim Greenspon, owner of
Greenspan's, 900 E. Broadway
"It's like holding a gun to our heads
and saying, 'Do you want me to pull the
trigger two times or three?' It's
extortion, I think, really," Greenspon
said. -
Tom Mendenhall, branch manager of
St. Louis Federal Savings and Loan,
1000 E. Broadway, said he has "mixed
feelings" about the loop.
"They've tried it in cities like
Springfield and Kansas City, and the
downtown area just seemed to die. But

WASHINGTON (UPI) - Natural gas
